Taking to social media, the Inja Ye Game star posted a humorous post about scoring a massive deal with the channel. Zee Nxumalo mistyped the channel and also asked for her followers' input on what language she should record the new song. "Just signed a deal with Nicholodean. They want me to do a song for SpongeBob. Must I make it in Zulu?" she asked on X (formally Twitter).

The first project under the partnership is "U’Spongé," a brand new song in which the iMali vocalist collaborated with Gino Brown, creating a F.U.N., upbeat track inspired by Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants, sampling the show's iconic theme song. On X, Nxumalo posted a picture of the cover art, informing her followers that she has already dropped "U’Spongé".

In an interview with MTV Base, Zee Nxumalo said she was in disbelief when she got the call, but she had to make it work "When I got the call, I did not believe it. The pressure got worse because I was like 'how the hell am I gonna make a SpongeBob song!'" she exclaimed.

The singer then shared the recipe behind the song, saying she needed a good beat and her producer delivered. "The most important thing was the beat. Shoutout to the producer," she revealed. There is also a dance to go with the revamped song.

Watch the official music video for "U’Spongé," in which SpongeBob shows off his dance moves (and does he have them!) below!
